“More than a shirt, feeding a passion for life”

Friday, 8 March 2013

The Evo-Stik Northern Premier League has appointed KitAid as its offical charity partner for the season 2013/14. The league are encouraging all participating teams to collect kit on matchdays. From everyone at KitAid its great to have the Evo Stik Northern Premier League on board and good luck to all the teams for the remainder of this season.

We always appreciate feedback at KitAid and we recently received some that shows just how powerful football and KitAid can be.

Over the last 2 years kit has been provided to 32 schools in the county of Bumula in Western Kenya. Schools are now able to compete against each other where as before in the past one team would go topless, this is all made possible from the kind donations KitAid receives. We have been told the impact of football has been felt across the whole county and there has been a drop in antisocial behaviour.

Now the schools are able to compete against each other, 2 students have also been admitted into specialist sports schools with free education bursaries. Everyone at KitAid would like to wish all schools competing against each other in Bumula all the best for the forthcoming season.

This little boy in a tattered Liverpool shirt was the catalyst to KitAid in 1998. Following a trip to Tanzania with WaterAid by Derrick Williams, KitAid was formed and the charity has grown steadily over the years from sending one box to the tiny village in Tanzania to this year donating 100,000 football kits to children and adults in some of the poorest countries in the World.

Many of these kits have been loved by children and adults in the UK and are now being loved again by people, thousands of miles away. Bringing us together is the passion for football and big smiles on our faces.
